Hospital

Although most residents left Kherson, in the only functioning maternity hospital 10–15 children are still born every month. The hospital has been, and still is, a target of Russian attacks — bombs have already hit the upper floor. Because of the constant threat, the delivery ward now works only on the ground floor and in the underground shelter, where staff and patients move during attacks. Sirens may go off even in the middle of childbirth.

All windows are nailed shut so that glass fragments do not injure patients. This maternity hospital is one of our regular recipients of aid. We have already delivered hospital beds, nurses’ clothing, disinfectants and other essential equipment. Thanks to this, the hospital can continue to save lives even in such difficult conditions.
